OBJECTIVES:
Primary
* Determine the combined effect of exercise and dietary counseling on the weight loss and quality of life of obese patients with stage I or II endometrial cancer in remission.

* Arm II: Patients undergo quality of life, exercise, and clinical assessments at baseline and at 3, 6, and 12 months.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 1 year.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 60 patients will be accrued for this study.
